Sorry I have not continued with my report soon, just been busy at work and rehersals for my upcoming musical.
Day 3: Monday 2nd March
Up at 4.30am and ready to head out the hotel by 5, walked the short walk from the hotel to St Pancreas and got all checked in, very quick and no problems and even put on my ears to get me in the Disney mood (did get some very weird looks from some people but I just figured they were jealous because they werent going to Disney!!!)
Eurostar left prompt at 7am and soon we were arriving into Lille station. We had to wait an hour for our connecting train in Lille station but we were soon on our way on the TGV double-decker train to
Disneyland Paris.
We arrived at Marne La Valle station just before 12pm and got the bus to the Santa Fe hotel. Check in was very quick and we headed to our block of 42, which if you have stayed at Santa Fe you will know it is situated at the very rear of the hotel, furthest from the buses and main building, but this didnt bother us as we walked to the park every day anyway. The room was basic but it had everything we needed, my only major gripe was the bathtub did seem to be very small.
After we dumped our stuff in the room, we headed out in the search of some Disney Magic. We quickly found the route to the park and cant believe how quiet the walk was every day. We decided to head to the Disneyland Park first.
After the obligatory Main Street and castle pictures
we headed towards Big Thunder Mountain (but not before indulging in a marshmallow on a stick)
and see what the wait was, it was at this point I started to panic as the crowds were huge and everything seemed to be at a standstill. The queue for Big Thunder Mountain was at 60 minutes but the fastpass return time was for an hour later so we grabbed one and headed over to phantom manor but unfortunately this was having technical problems. While walking we decided to be tourists and use the map, however Rob got confused so had to go into the map
We then moved onto Indiana Jones, enjoyed it but wouldnt rush back.
It was at this point that we started on our hat obsession; this started at Disney World and has continued since then
I am going to have to continue this part of the trip tommorrow as I am falling asleep as I write this, to be continued ........
